Entered as second-class matter September 26, 1930, at the post office at Mills College, California
under the Act of August 24, 1912.

A selected quotation from a lecture of the fortnight is regularly printed in
Leaves from the College Calendar.

"It is a teacher’s function to help students to learn, and while they
are learning, to help them to use the new knowledge, that they may
actually incorporate or incarnate in themselves the things learned.

One who has not so incarnated knowledge should not teach.”

From an address by President Reinhardt before the Education Majors, Tues¬
day afternoon, May 12, on The Intellectual Contribution of the Teacher.

DR. KENNETH SAUNDERS

For a second time this semester the college will welcome Dr. Kenneth Saun¬
ders as its Sunday vesper speaker. In March he discussed the remarkable Prince-
tonian, Toyohiko Kagawa with whom he had had several conferences during his
recent trip to Japan and whom he has induced to accept an invitation to deliver
a series of lectures in California next autumn. This month Dr. Saunders will
discuss The Modern Spirit and will bring another challenge of unusual interest
to his student audience.

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, educated at Emmanuel College, Cam¬
bridge, a student of Buddhism in Ceylon, and for years a professor of the history
of religion in theological schools of this country, he is conversant with modern
tendencies in religion and with their relation to inheritance from earlier gen¬
erations.

GALLERY EXHIBITS

The Art Gallery during May is displaying the work of two California paint¬
ers, Henrietta Shore and Stanley Wood, and also the college collection of oriental
paintings and other objects of art.

Miss Shore is one of the leading women artists of California in water colors,
lithographs and crayon drawings. In commenting on her pictures Roi Partridge,
director of the gallery, has noted that her studies are simplified to a basic form
and that she has concentrated more on form than on realism. Stanley Wood is a
famous water color painter of Carmel and one of the best known artists in this
medium. His work is characterized by breadth and freshness of color and he has
a remarkable faculty for portraying beauty in the commonplace.

LEAVES FROM THE COLLEGE CALENDAR

The Chinese and Japanese paintings which are being shown the latter half of
May have been presented to the college by Albert M. Bender, a member of the
Board of»Trustees.

All of these exhibits will be followed on June 10 by examples of student
work which have been completed during the college year. Both galleries will be
used for this exhibit which will be shown from June tenth to fifteenth inclusive.

GOLD HOLLOW

The Department of Physical Education sponsors a model summer camp for
college and high school girls at Gold Hollow in the Bret Harte country, a hun¬
dred and sixty-five miles from the campus. Its fifty acres of land covered with
pine, white oak, manzanita and madrone are on the shore of Lake Vera so that
there are opportunities for swimming, canoeing and fishing, as well as for walk¬
ing and for riding trips.

The dates this year are June twenty-ninth to August eighth. The camp
leader will be Miss Verrel Weber, who in past years has shown herself efficient
and resourceful and has won the co-operation of the campers and counselors.
These counselors are college women chosen for their special interest in girls, their
qualities in wholesome leadership, and their skill in their particular activities.
There is always one counselor for every six campers.

Requests for further information should be sent to Miss Verrel Weber, Mills
College.

A PRESIDENTIAL MILESTONE

At Commencement time in June President Reinhardt will write finis to the
first fifteen years of her toil and accomplishment for Mills College and she will
take up her pen to start a new page of the college history. To honor her on this
fifteenth anniversary, alumnae of all ages and all classes from far and near will
assemble at dinner Saturday night, June 13, in Orchard-Meadow Dining Hall,
which was built during the present administration. Representatives of the trus¬
tees, students, faculty, and alumnae will speak at the dinner, and the presidents
of the Associated Students for the last fifteen years will be present to respond to
a toast to the President. Plans for the dinner are under the direction of Esther
Waite of Berkeley, president of the Associated Students in 1921-1922.

In the spring of 1916 Miss Ethel Moore, then a trustee, first introduced the
new president to the students at a college assembly in Lisser Hall. In the light
of succeeding years, Miss Moore’s remarks at that time may be considered
prophetic:

"We have chosen Aurelia Henry Reinhardt to be president of Mills College
because she sees here not a temporary job, a step to something better, but because
she considers it a challenge worthy of her steel, one which will permanently
engage her interest and her great gifts.”

In the old parlors of Mills Hall a few weeks after this introduction, the new
president, not yet inaugurated, met the student group face to face at a reception
given in her honor by the faculty under the leadership of Dean Ege, the acting
president. In August of that year President Reinhardt formally assumed the
direction of the college.
